Here is my current theory on Qimir : x.com/LJ_Delulu/status/1805958807035539601
Link doesn't seem to be working...
There is a hint of Kylo Ren's theme at the end. I think Knights Ren are Sith but Sith as a word was only used by Jedi to describe them, like they called Korriban as Moraband.
My thoughts are that he’s just an apprentice looking to overthrow his master but the ren idea is a good one
I dunno... I really think that Qimir is Sol's son... Both asian..., all the time teasing the "from the past" thing, etc. But I really want to know what did Sol do because one thing this show is doing, is killing everyone we starting to like (why Jecky... come on..).
Was better that the other episodes but if you want a "great" video watch a very small independent film called "There are more of us" it's about a group of super friends who try to say a show is for everyone but only if you agree with them .
Yes there are plot holes like how 14% is a bigger number than 86% and why are these people trying to gatekeep and ignore genuine complaints.
It is hard to find due to the fact that 2 out of the 11 are actually really bad people who have/had doing some questionable things are the people who made it are trying to pretend it didn't happen.
"Why didnt he kill yord, plot armor obviously" yeah just wait for it😂😂
LMAO spoke too soon
@@LouiseJulie_ I said the same thing, plot armor aint that strong this episode.
Sith Lord, maker of lethal drinks AND chiropractor, Qimir has quite the resume! 😄
Yord had plot armor... just not the top of the line stuff. His armor eventually failed him. Lol. Great episode!
@@maviebaby Apparently steaming your robes will weaken your plot armor.
"If evil why hot?" - Exactly. I think we know why Mae signed up. She saw those arms as was like, "... uhh ... yeah sign me up ..."
I predicted reactions like this. Maybe I do have place on pride.
I’d sell my soul for those arms
The cortosis reveal made me have that “OH F*CK” moment the second I realized what it was. Loved that Dafne got to kick serious ass, but Jecki’s death hit just as hard as Qui Gon’s.
It really does
That cortosis reveal was so well done. Not just having it resist the lightsabers or blaming the disruption on him striking the hilts, but having it do what pure cortosis is said to do. Those who know will be amazed, while those who don't just recognize it as one more aspect of his intimidation. This is honoring the past while making your own stories.
I just realized but I think Sol knows it's Mae because when Sol asks "Osha" "where is she?" "Osha" says "who?" and Sol responds with "your sister". Even though she's pretending to be Osha, and Sol visually sees her as Osha, they've made it a point this whole show that when someone asks Sol which sister he is referring to, he always mentions them directly by name.
Plus, Mae has that swirly on her forehead...
I think you may be right, he did hesitate before he answered "your sister". Cool catch
And when Sol is introduced, one of his very first lines is "Don't trust your eyes, they can deceive you."
I thought my girl Jecki was safe. She fought so well, all the way to the end. 😢
😂
She was just a padawan, yet she fought better than those jedi. Which is really unrealistic
@@_Arkhe_00 Well, some people have simply more talent.
They said in the official trailer no one is safe from the truth and damn did they mean it
They really set a precedent here, that nobody is safe and that the plot armor is thin: meaning almost anyone can die on this show.
4:17 Jecki performing a dropkick directly from wrestling lol
Qimir and his guns coming for title of "Hottest Star Wars Antagonist since Anakin Skywalker" :P
On God bro I would be happy if he said hello then started choking me
“if evil, why hot?!” exactly what i was thinking too 😭💀
RIP to Yord and Jecki though 💔
Same reason they made Kylo Ren attractive. Sex sells.
@@skarmachild Personally I never found Kylo attractive at all, but to each their own lol.
@@renuzui Me neither, but theres a reason they got Adam Driver who is largely regarded as very good looking.
I still can’t believe they brought the Cortosis armor from the books and comics into live action. It’s a material that nullifies blaster shots and temporarily disables lightsabers. In canon it was seen in the novel Thrawn: Alliances and in the Doctor Aphra comics.
It’s incredibly rare and even harder to refine into armor, and while it’s relatively weak against strong impacts, it can nullify blaster bolts and deactivate lightsabers temporarily upon impact.
Right, as soon as I realized it was Cortosis I was like "OH SHIT! Nice!"
@@tearstoneactual9773me too
I was like what the heck?!
That’s gotta be a problem.
And the way he used it was incredible.
And showcases that siths and dark siders never played by the rules
beskar + cortosis would be the ultimate anti-jedi armor
@@vinsanity40k the anti-EVERYTHING armor!
" He's so HAWT" LMAO.....that made me die....
Louise has questionable taste 😂😂
I have a feeling Sol knows she's not Osha.
- "Where is she?
- Who?
"Your sister", leaves it ambiguous by them not technically saying the name.
RIP Jecki, you where a Queen.
I have a feeling that either all involved will die or some two of them turn Sith or they cover up the whole thing from the High Council.
Then why would he just leave Osha?
@@CCFONESOL There's a ton of things that don't make sense. Where were Sol and Jecki during the battle? There was another theory that Sol was the Master but like Legends Sol has two personalities. Maybe the twins need to be on opposites sides to achieve the Force Dyad. Why the particular 4 Jedis targeted if the witches aren't involved? Ouch, MY HEAD.
Jecki literally just put her 1st skill point into Dual Wielding 😭😭😭 #justiceforjecki
Jecki probably has at least ten or more d6's in lightsaber
@@Ashmoleon2006 haha so true!
@@chaq34 tbh my absolute favorite interation of the star wars tabletop role playing game is the original d6 system from back in the day, Im even in a campaign now in discord
@@Ashmoleon2006 that sounds amazing 🔥
this episode was awesome 😮 but i was so sad who died 😭 my two favorite people and I can't wait for more especially after the ending 😃🙌🏽 keep up the great reactions Louise
The guys from Blind Wave called that one maneuver a "sith-kabob". 😂
Just so you know the mask qimir wears is made of cortosis, a metal that causes lightsabers to deactivate on contact.
Honestly I am NOT OVER the fact they killed Jecki... she was my favorite and I will never get over it. 😢 I cried for like a good half hour
I did not expect a double death scene this episode. Jeckie and Yord's demises were pretty graphic for so-called "woke" Disney Plus!
Thank You for the Like icons!
I have a theory that Qimir might be Darth Tenebrous's apprentice and he will kill him, then he will take Plagueis.
I really hope we see it in episode 8
i think Qimir is a former padawan who left the jedi and found himself his way to the darkside. But iam sure he want become a sith. That he want a pupil. Sith are always two. One master and one pupil.
in my theory he could be Darth Ramage (skilled in poison, like Qimir). After him there will be Darth Tenebrous, and than Darth Plagueis.
but like he clearly isn't a sith.
Tenebrous is supposed to have had 2 apprentices in violation of the rule of two. Qimir might be one of those two
Parent Trap: A Star Wars Story.
Absolutely BRUTAL episode, everyone did so well in this one. Loved the Cortosis mask and arm guard shorting out the sabers, what a villain and what a fight sequence we got.
Who knew Qimir was jacked to hell too.
Can't wait to see how the series continues and to get the full story about what really happened with the Witches and the Jedi.
RIP the Jedi infiltration team.
"She was a child"
Yes wielding a weapon that can dismember with no effort at all 🤣
"Bazil's gonna know her scent."
Yeah, but Yord was the only one that could understand him.
I think that Sol knows that it is Mae, and not Osha.
When he asked "where is your sister?" He does not mention Mae by name, which up to this point he has had a habit of doing.
I think next episode is going to slow things down a bit and we are going to get Mae's side of what happened on Brendok, and see what the Jedi were up to in the Witch's fortress.
Next episode Basile trying to tell Sol that Osha is Mae with charades, angry faces, and hand signals and him just NOT GETTING it is the Looney Toon I always wanted.
bazil is amazing
love him
absolutely loved how jecki saved mae from death by sith saber, tricking us into thinking they were gonna continue developing her dynamic with the twins, and then... that..
I haven't seen anybody else mention it. But I heard two very familiar notes from some songs we've heard in the films.
The first one i heard sounded a lot like a part of the "Battle of Heroes" song when Jecki pulled out the 2nd saber when she was fighting Qimir!
And the 2nd note I recognized was a distinct part of Kylo Ren's theme song playing when Qimir began to force heal Osha!
I've seen the Kylo theme mentioned
Louise is my favorite Star Wars reactor along Kyle Katarn.
One of the darkest episodes in all Star Wars live action series.
He gotta die just for killing Jecki and calling her "it"
That and "you brought her here" were colder than Hoth
Loved that bit 😀
@@bemasaberwyn55 He's totally right with that line though.
but he's hot ☹️ (i'm jk don't flame me)
@@Tuleinaarii Sol wasn't expecting to meet a Sith, though. He was just bringing his Padawan with him on a mission along with 6 other Jedi Knights. Their mission was to arrest Mae, and the group they brought for that was way, way, way overkill. Especially since Sol bested Mae on his own. For all he knew, Jecki would be absolutely safe.
I am so glad that there are fans of this show. I can't say that I'm one of them so far. I keep trying to like it but, for whatever reason, I can't find any emotional anchor to any of the characters and much of it feels flat to me. But that's how any media franchise goes. Some things resonate and some things don't. The important thing, I think, is that there are fans that will love this and find their initial "romance" for Star Wars here.
And there are things I legitimately like in this show. I like exploring Force traditions outside of the Jedi and the Sith. They existed heavily in the EU (Legends) canon. Both the Light, and the Dark, had many different interpretations and followers. Even within the Jedi Order there were conflicting opinions on the nature of the Force and teachings that fell out of favor or were outright barred. Very cool to show, if only briefly, one of those traditions.
Very cool to introduce Cortosis in a functional way to the universe. That's an old Legends bit and, when used sparingly, makes for a neat inclusion.
I don't see any "lore" breaks so far. And I'm an "old head" when it comes to Star Wars. I've nerded very hard on it through the EU novels and releases. I've seen them adjust racial traits such as lifespan and biology back and forth as it suits the story. None of these things bother me. And I think there's enough of a distinction in Force-wielding Witches manipulating the Force through some means to create twins and the Force itself (implied) manifesting Anakin into being that there's no real conflict.
This, of course, requires you to just assume that the Jedi Prophecy wasn't only real and factual but also interpreted correctly by the Jedi. I don't think we can just assume any of that to begin with.
This show isn't connecting much with me. But I hope it connects with others and love to watch people enjoy it. We've still got three episodes. And, who knows, they might hook me at the end. I'm just glad they're exploring more of the universe and presenting different stories to wider audiences.
(Sorry for the giant comment.)
True, a lot of these big issues that "break lore" people are trying to bring up are just issues they are creating and that aren't actually there.
This episode just recanonized cortosis.
I remember reading a comic in which Darth Vader killed 10 Jedi, one of whom was using a cortosis sword that shorted out Vader's lightsaber.
Didn't re-canonise given that the Vader comic already did that but nevertheless, the first time we're seeing it in live action :) (remember it's anything post-2014 that is current canon :) )
They have said this story is a Rashomon, and so far we only have one version of what happened...I think Qimir was there on Brendok, that osha was meeting him under the Bunta tree, that's how he knew about the poison.
Your predictions:
Luke Skywalker: "Amazing, every word of what you just said was wrong."
Why did Mae resist arrest from Jackie if she wants to surrender herself to the Jedi in the previous episode? 🤔
Besides, where was Sol when:
-Jackie fight Darth Ezra Miller. Weird since Sol was there with Jackie for the 2v1 fight against Darth EM. When Jackie vs EM, Sol was just gone.
-Darth Ezra Miller slaughtered the other Jedi?
Also, why didn't Darth EM just use his force push against the horde of giant moths attacking him? Weird, since he used it earlier against a group of Jedi.
What about Kelnacca? Nobody is going to check-in to see how is he doing? I hope this get resolved in the next ep.
Yeah, that didn't make sense. Also, if she planned to turn herself in, why didn't she just go with Osha and Sol?
Such a shocking and devastating episode, you were right about Qimir. You called it
What an episode, it broke my heart, and I love it for it.
They set us up to love these characters so much just to rip them away from us before we were ready 😭
Some fantastic fights and truly a terrifying enemy that I'm excited to see more of. I'm very curious to see what happens with our characters especially with the mixup and Sol's much broodier angrier attitude right now
I'm still waiting to feel anything for any of these characters
"I wanna be angry at him, but he's so pretty"
Girl! same! 😅😅
“Man I’m so happy bad batch ended with the characters making it out”
Headland: “little do they know”
I heard someone call the double impale a “Sith Kabob” & I can’t stop giggling.
Sol might've been the mastermind behind the slaying of the Witches. He's definitely not going to involve the Council because he doesn't want to be investigated and exposed. Even Vernestra wasn't in on the whole story. This episode was 9.5/10 for me. Love your enthusiasm!
Okay, that was a shocking episode (and definitely the best episode until now). R.I.P. Jecki and Yord 😔😟
15:47 Did you notice that at the end a part of Kyle rens theme played. Is that maybe a clue that qimir the first is ?
Been waiting for your reaction. So hyped to watch with you!
Bazil and Pip will save the day mark my words!
*kills Jecki*
“If evil why hot?”
Me: “I don’t know and I’m so conflicted because I loved Jecki!
Qimir just had your heart broken and then stolen within a minute.
Since sith boi killed my favorite padawan triple tapped like a little bitch he shall henceforth be called Darth sneaky😂😱😭😭😭🗡️🗡️🗡️
this was episode was like:
'this is madness' -c3po
in the best way
That was true High Republic style writing in that episode. High Republic content has never been afraid of killing off main/favorable characters.
Really? I've refused to read any of the books since Disney took over.
@@tearstoneactual9773 Sounds like you're missing out for a pretty dumb reason then
@@Illjwamh - Okay, let's attack/insult someone who might actually be interested. That makes a lot of sense.
@@tearstoneactual9773 Apologies. I've been inundated lately by people whining about Disney and knee-jerked
@@tearstoneactual9773 What I should have said was: You’ve been missing out. No time like the present to remedy that.
Bro made sure our hopes for Jeki's surprise return in Season 2 would never happen by stabbing her with 3 consecutive combo. Savage! 😂
Jecki's death really broke me... 😢
Loser
I am not okay, my favorite is gone, The Stranger is a BEAST that showed up & REKT everyone, everything has gone to hell, Im going bed to cry myself to sleep 😭😭😭
So apparently his helmet is made out of a special metal that can disrupt lightsaber energy.
You crack me up 😂😂😂
L: "Don't think there'll be a face reveal yhis episode.... 3 seconds later... Oh nevermind"
L: "Why didn't he kill Yord, I mean plot armour obviously....."
I'm totally NOT ok with Jecki and Yord being killed off 😢😢 I adored Jecki's character, she was SOOO COOL!!! And I respected Yord. He was quite "stiff" with rules and such, but he respected his masters orders and he did not hesitate a second to "save" Osha when she was accused of Master Torbins death.
You're one of the only people I've seen who picked up on the "He didn't say he was a Sith, only that they'd call him one" thing. I've been thinking from the start that he might not be a Sith, and I'm more convinced of it now
Such an incredible episode …. So many tears and that sith was freaking bad ass
Man, this episode was absolutely fire. I am beginning to get my doubts about Sol though. There is a hidden darkness inside him. But we’ll see how this will develop. Sad about the deaths and my mouth falling open at the time was pretty much the mirror image of your own reaction lol. Great vid, looking forward to the next one!
FYI, the gauntlet and helmet Qimr was wearing is made from Cortosis, it's canon that it will disrupt lightsabers.
Fun fact that helmet and arm bracer is made out of cortosis which is why the lightsabers deactivated on contact so that’s a nice touch also hasbro just announced black series helmet of qimir’s helmet and I am totally painting it to look like an inquisitor helmet and painting the welding cracks in glowing red so it would be a mix between an inquisitor helmet and kylo ren’s helmet in rise of skywalker
This episode is the best episode so far. The fight choreo was insane, it really brought us back to prequel style combat and showing the different styles of combat from Sol and Jecki's tag team to Qimir using his armor to short the sabers, even Sol using hands for his fights, were all done extremely well. Sol and Qimir's acting are top tier, you can see and hear the changes Qimir's actor does for all of his scenes, and after Jecki and Yord you can see Sol start giving into his pain, Imo Sol is best actor in this series, chills. Now that we know the face of the darksider, we can focus on whatever happened on Brendok, what will happen with Mae and Osha, and Qimir's backstory, hopefully. Now to wait for next weeks episode. May the Force be with you, Always. 💯🔥💚💚✌️
I've been waiting all day to see you react to this. I was shocked by this episode.
Sol doesn't need to speak Bazil's language. He can see into Bazil's mind. However, I don't think Bazil knows this.
So my guess is that Sol pretty much instantly knew it was Mae, but he's trying to turn/save her by playing along and getting her to the ship. As long as he can get her away from Qimir, he can safely deal with Mae (he fought her before, so he knows she's not a serious threat by herself).
To gain Mae's trust, Sol will tell her the story he was intending to tell both Osha and Mae together. So, we'll see part of a flashback.
But Bazil will interrupt at an unfortunate time, before we get the whole story. Assuming Bazil doesn't know Sol can read minds well, he'll try something like screaming out a warning or something.
I dunno, just guessing here.
I'm leaning toward this as well. It's a solid theory.
@@MsJoniGibson I just realized a wrinkle, though ... Okay, Sol isn't going back to the ship to get to safety. He's going back to the ship to call for backup. Remember his conversation with Venestra during the mission briefing. The mission isn't about saving Kelnacca or capturing Mae - it's about getting a lead on Mae's master. WHO IS ON KHOFAR.
But Sol is the only Jedi left, so he needs backup.
Now, it's going to take some amount of time for Venestra and co to arrive. So, in the meantime, he might start telling a story to Mae. But maybe he needs to keep his attention on spotting any spacecraft leaving Khofar or something.
Cannot believe we lost both Kelnacca & Jecki! Why do they do this to us? 😭. I seriously cannot wait to see where this story goes. Thanks for the great reaction again! ❤
Crazy how out of everyone that went into the forest only 3 came back out and 1 of them was basil the beaver😂 the smallest and least dangerous one
I think Osha is gonna get told a version of the truth but from a place of Qimir manipulating her. I feel like this will end up with the twins either joining together to fight Qimir or with one of them killing the other and truly becoming his apprentice
Did Smilo really get Sol with the old "Hey, whats that over there!?!" trick? Ooof
I was dreading watching this reaction after I watched ep5. It was more of a rollercoaster than I was expecting.
I was so sad that Jecki died. 😢 She was one of the few in the group that we can see here that seemed like a well-balanced and well-trained Jedi.
The Adventures of Bazil and Pip is a short I'd like to see in Tales of the High Republic series that I now want
In Patrick voice “Everyone died. The end”
He didn’t kill jord immediately because he knew him personally and hesitated.
"if evil, why hot?"
😂
5 ⭐ reaction,LJ.May the Force be with all of us and you Always.
I'm glad this episode is what it is! Fantastic choreography and fight scene on Manny's part!
This episode was amazing. And I hope you don’t give up Star Wars for what happened to Jecki.
Its crazy to me that Jecki and X-23 from Logan/Dead Pool and Wolverine are the same people.
There may be a little problem, which I just noticed. At 3:20 into episode 5, Master Ki-Adi-Mundi dies, as Qimir impales him from behind. However, this may not be a problem IF Master Ki-Adi-Mundi from The Phantom Menace was named after his father. What do you think?
Pretty sure the Jedi that got stabbed in the back was one of Plo Koon's race (Kel Dor)
There’s a lot of EU/KOTOR-coded references in this episode.
- Cortosis makes its live-action debut
- Mae talking about the Jedi brainwashing Osha makes me think the Jedi might have done a Revan on her, and reprogrammed part of her psyche to be loyal to the Jedi, specifically Sol, and distrustful of Mae
- Yord talking about Qimir “getting in your head and staying there” makes me think of either some variation of the mental manipulation Mother Aniseya did, OR a kind of localized Battle Meditation almost, like what Bastila could do, since that was said to demoralize, confuse and cripple your enemy
I was waiting for your reaction!!!!
I do believe that Mother Koril is behind very thing for one we didn’t see her body in the flashback of all the dead witches and from the moment we meet her she disliked the Jedi
Plot armor was broken.
This episode is the kind of star wars we want !!!
All episodes have been. Too many lightsaber fights get boring, that's why George mostly saved them for the end of films.
Sol definitely went to the Dark Side fighting the Stranger. Clearly there’s some darkness in his past, right?
9:48 Come on Louise, we just lost Jecki 😞. Just kidding, loved your reaction.
We KNOW she's like this 😂😂
im so freaking curious if he is just a survivor who has the force and who is just studying different cultures. he was involved somehow with the witches. but yeah absolutely loved this episodes!~ thanks Louise!~
Sol can talk to Basel without Mae know what they talk about, that is a nice plot twist 😃 I really liked this episod.
Louise try not to call every single character "honey" challange lvl: impossible :D
Hahahah, accidental habit 😭🤣
Hi Louise hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Seeing live action cortosis is just beautiful though
Some of the absolute best fighting in all of Star Wars. Still loving this series. I'm so wrapped upnon HotD right now that I keep forgetting this is on too. Lol I'm a spoiled nerd this month.
this is the reaction i was waiting for. so many stans had their fav taken away in one fell swoop
12:09 Even for a Sith Lord, that was hell of an Impressive Grand Admiral Thrawn level mind fuck
sol knew as soon as mae helped him up. she was way too strong to be osha
This was amazing. It was Brutal. I have a Theory on what happened that night... Qimir is not a true 'Sith'.
The big smile on the helmet reminds me of the teeth on oni masks and samurai faceplates.
This show didn't care about its cast whatsoever.
Plot amour she said... Oh my sweet summer child...
Also quimir mos definetely is a sith that whole speech was part of his sthik/his mind games, the question is is he a bane line sith - i think not, so he might run afoul of the current bane duo. I also hope they dont drag out the mae deception bc there are so many ways how sol could tell its mae. Also intriuiged if we migt se a switch like osha turning to the dark side after quimir tell her a strongly manipulated tur of events and mae after sol explanation actually understanding that it wasnt as black and white as she thougth
Dude’s arms are incredible. I wonder if they saw him training in pre-production and drew x’s all over the proposed sleeves in the costume drawings. 🤣
